1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate HIV epidemiological characteristics and risk factors among international migrants (including Chinese citizens departing/returning and foreign nationals entering China) at Sichuan International Travel Health Care Center (2004-2024), informing targeted prevention strategies. Methods: A retrospective analysis of HIV infections was conducted using ELISA screening and Western blot confirmation. Results: Out of 566,475 individuals screened, 323 were found to be positive, resulting in a positivity rate of 0.057% (95% CI: 0.049-0.065). The characteristics of the infected individuals were as follows: (1) the majority were male (92.57%), predominantly aged between 41 and 50 years (29.33%), and primarily comprised migrant workers (59.49%); (2) the CRF55_01B subtype was the most prevalent, accounting for 60.61%, and exhibited an independent transmission chain; (3) heterosexual transmission was the primary mode of infection (47.68%), with 74.37% of individuals not maintaining consistent condom use. Additionally, there has been an increasing trend in the proportion of individuals aged 51-60 and those with a college education or higher in recent years. Conclusions: A comprehensive review of two decades of data indicates the necessity for port-focused interventions aimed at middle-aged migrant workers, improved surveillance measures, and the incorporation of molecular epidemiology into prevention strategies. Interventions should be specifically tailored to prioritize evidence-based approaches for high-risk groups, particularly mobile workers aged 51-60 years and university students engaging in unprotected sexual activities.
